Ilkeston Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Ilkeston are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided upon booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the terms in the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Ilkeston, you must be at least 21 years old, although some vehicle categories may have different age requirements and potential fees for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence suitable for the vehicle type is necessary, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit will also be required. Additional conditions may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations for car hire can be arranged via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Ilkeston office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are generally payable upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions secured through trusted payment processors.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, a thorough inspection is required to identify any pre-existing damage, which must be reported immediately. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in additional charges, so please notify us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You will be held responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You can find full coverage details and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability, so reviewing these options is advisable. You remain liable for damages or losses up to the insurance excess unless additional coverage is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance provisions.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ depending on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the rental vehicle:
- Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any dangerous maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must be used for its intended purposes only. Adhering to passenger and weight restrictions is mandatory. Driving outside of the designated geographical limits requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions

Our liability for any claims is capped at the rental amount paid in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to cases of negligence leading to death or personal injury, or instances of fraud.
